Culture Clash

FLINT was recently part of something rather bizarre and perplexing. We were invited to join a crew of neo traditionalists as a festival was about to be held near their headquarters/barn/church/drinking den. It seems their barn is in the centre of a massive music festival, which is kind of mind boggling in itself. In years gone by they’ve relocated when the festival comes, in more recent years they’ve decided to assimilate the mass of punters that take over their land for a few days every July.

What happened during the festival was something rather unique, seeing two completely separate cultures clash; one of which has deeply intrenched conservative values, the other a jumbled mix of alcohol and drug fuelled hedonism.
